Interesting.
All the shops by me, I mean every one, has their employees open carrying. I figured that was S.O.P. for gunshops.
Now I must admit I'm part of a very large metro area, that has its share of criminal-element. That may figure into it. But yeah, I've never been in a store where the employees weren't strapped.
Exactly. IMHO the best use of a firearm is not in discharging it, but rather it's use as a deterrent. Far better to avoid trouble, than get in it.
But straight-up: If I was dealing with the general public, while sitting on all that
quick-turn-for-cash, high-street-value, inventory . . . you bet I'd be armed!

BTW - I envy you. Working for yourself, in what I suppose is a business that would be your hobby otherwise. If that's so, it's a win-win; even better if it's turning cash!
The best of luck, to you!
